Without posting which car washes are for sale, I'm seeing quite a few self service washes that are for sale in and around DFW. I'm in the market for more locations and this amazed me when I saw this. I'm well aware tunnel washes are becoming the new normal around suburbs and inner city, but...

Just wondering if anyone else with WashPay had problems with the install? We just got both automatics, 5 out of 6 of our SS bays, and still waiting to get our dog wash installed. The online system is a HUGE improvement from our old system. However, the problems we're experiencing is that our...

We're needing some upgrades to our WSII's but can't make out 1 of the machines serial number. Unitec put a small white sticker on the top left corner inside the WSII. It's four numbers. Is there another place within the WSII I can see what the serial # is? Does anyone know if the serial...

Today we noticed our Tri-Foam Clear Coat wasn't up to par as it usually is. The problem is this: When the tri-foam comes on, the passenger side produces excellent product while the drivers side is very liquidly. We've cleaned the chemical mixing tanks & filters inside them. We've even cleaned...

We're being plagued with an issue that's lasted about a good week now. Customers are paying but the auto cashier isn't turning on the wash. Its like a disease because its spread the problem to our other automatic. Any ideas? Thanks, -Andy:p

Does anyone currently develop and produce their own meterbox labels? I use photoshop / pages (mac) / and other graphic editing programs to produce ads, labels, and decals. I was just wondering what other people used to print their labels on and how long their labels usually lasted. Not sure...

I was reading the latest issue of the SSCWN when I came across an interesting part about driveway washing and oil. I'm not sure what page its on but it says something like the Exxon Valdez spilled 10 million gallons of oil into the ocean. Compare that to the 150 or 200 million gal. of oil put...

Is anyone else having trouble with the new Unitec Panisonic dual side CC reader? We figured rain was getting into the WSII somehow so we build a "rain coat" for the CC reader. Now the CC readers are acting up again even with the waterproof protection we did. We're using the latest update from...

Is anyone with a petwash currently vending or considering products for their petwash? I'm only asking because we're considering vending products such as fragrances for pets. We've looked at the KR website but they only have products that are for the actual building odor. We see this as a great...

What is everyone's protocol on how they set their floor heat temp? The utility company here is raising the price on Natural gas...again. I'd like to see the different ways operators go about setting the temp on the floor heat. Do you look at the weather? If so, do you look at tabular...

I don't know why but this made my day a little better watching two guys dodge an out of control HP gun. http://break.com/index/workin-at-the-car-wash.html

Not sure if anyone else has seen this or what wash its at. Would be interesting to know. An elderly woman accidentally slams on the gas and speeds out of the car wash and across the highway at over 40-60 miles per hour. http://www.break.com/index/elderly-woman-loses-control-in-carwash.html

I was just wondering if any operators have purchased a mat and rug cleaner for their customers to use. Do you let your customers use it for free or do you charge? Where on your location do you place the mat and rug cleaner? And what type of cleaner do you use? Thanks! -am

I was recently browsing my spring issue of the SSCWN when I came across an ad for the the Jim Coleman Company (page 87 spring 2008). I like JCC equipment, don't get me wrong, but I can't help but notice the similarity between the "e" on the eFusion equipment and the "e" for Internet Explorer. I...

Pretty funny video I found tonight. It looks as if AFV showed this during one of their shows? I've never seen this before but makes you think twice about getting out of your car during the car wash. I do this frequently when testing or checking the IBA...
